A man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing an orange saffron shawl and wrap, with a gold-bead necklace of ceremonial gold beads and a red bindi and white tilak marks on his forehead, holds a silver oil lamp with a bright flame and a ringing bell-like handle in his right hand while his eyes are closed in devotion. Smoke drifts around him against a dark background with a blue-and-yellow painted pillar and a tent canopy above. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron wrap and ceremonial gold necklace match the appearance cues; he is performing a lamp offering during the ritual.

Dark indoor setting with a man in rust-red robes and a long orange-beaded mala with large gold beads, holding a silver lamp with a flaming wick in his right hand while a silver ritual vessel rests in his left. He looks toward the flame. Smoke rises from the lamp; a partly visible person stands at the right edge. Appears to be an aarti or lamp ritual. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style orange beaded mala with gold beads, and saffron-toned robes.

A man in saffron-orange robes stands against a dark background with red pillars, holding a silver oil lamp with a lit flame in his right hand. He wears layered gold-bead and rudraksha-style necklaces, a gold armlet, and a gold chain with a pendant, and has long dark hair swept back and a tilak on his forehead. He is smiling and looking to the side, with a small microphone visible near his ear. A bald figure in saffron is partially visible at the left edge.
